Barlow Posted March 17, 2021 Share Posted March 17, 2021 (edited) I don't think Howard will be doing himself any favours criticizing the press/media. I am sure he knows people who slam the questions, but there are still a few thousand people stay tuned, and then there are those that listen on Manx Radio. During Lockdown1 Manx Radio cut their broadcast when it came to questions, but I think that has more to do with Alex Brindley, Manx Radio Programme Controller, having his show interruoted. James Davis, who it seems will be palming questions at the Covid Briefings is no fool but he knows which side his bread is buttered.

manxst Posted March 17, 2021 Share Posted March 17, 2021 At least he’s still entertaining SOME questions. Kim Jong-un would’ve executed Paul Moulton via anti aircraft gun by now... 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I understand from friends living there that Guernsey briefings are very highly regarded as is their Director of Public Health who regularly does extra briefings via Facebook on her own to give more information. The questions are normally very professionally answered with none of the sarcasm of our leaders 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pipsqueak Posted March 17, 2021 Share Posted March 17, 2021 the press should just boycott the briefings and leave him an empty room to talk at. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quayle moving to pre-approved questions moderated by James Davis at the pressers? From 36:15 https://www.tynwald.org.im/business/listen/AgainFiles/7358a.mp3 If PM hadn't asked some of the questions he has, we would still be in the dark on some important issues. They just blunder from one idiocy to another. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David does at least do his homework and gives lots of good info. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He also seems to have made an enemy of the word, 'shertificate'. It's the little things. Here is a suggestion for the Great Manx Public... how many times can we get statistics, constable, certificates and other Quaylisms into a question for the CM? Bacon bap for anyone who gets through the propoganda media department mandarins. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
